Just a note about myself, after getting my firsts music degree, in the eighties, I began working in and around Los Angeles as a bassist. After roughly 40 years, and a second music degree, from Musicians Institute in Hollywood, I had a renewed interest in composing, something I dabbled in back in the '80's. After meeting veteran playwright, actor, and musician Reggie Bruce at a Starbucks on Wilshire Blvd, in LA, we began working together converting some of his scripts and screenplays into rock musicals. 

Feel free to look around, at my bio and Gallery, and stay tuned! There's more to come!

Things aren't going well for Colin, Jacky and the crew. It's been hours in the mansion and they haven't found the millions that they expected. The owner is tied up, downstairs, and things are getting desperate. Colin, looking at and caressing his gun, is leaning towards the unthinkable. Jaquelyn walks into, what appears to be, a large music room with a grand piano in the center. When she met Colin, as a roadie, and he showed an interest in her, she expected more from her relationship with the up-and-coming rocker. But she fell totally and desperately in love. He treats her horribly, and she reciprocates, but she's tired of the tension and emotional strain. She sits down at the piano and begins to play. It's "Break These Chains" and the strings come in. Midway through the song Colin comes in with his rap-metal version and, on the third verse, the song becomes a duet. This was one of Reggies favorites and, as he'd leave, he'd shout out "Break These Chains!" From our musical "The Gleam In Their Eyes". Hope you enjoy it!
